[WriteLog] Using a second monitor issue

[Gary AL9A]

Phil,

As you have discovered to populate the Call field with a left click the 
Rttyrite window must be on the main monitor, not the extended desktop.  You 
have also discovered that a right mouse click allows you to post it to the 
band map.  I was unaware of that option, but have used a similar one.

I have the stack register window open on my main monitor.  I have WL setup 
so that a right click on a call, either on the main monitor or on the second 
monitor will place the call into the stack.  I have also defined two unused 
keys, '[' and']", with keyboard shortcuts to push a call onto the stack or 
pop it from the stack.  So if the 2Tone clone window on the second monitor 
does a better job of decoding a call than either the MMTTY window or the 
2Tone clone window on the first monitor I right click to put it into the 
stack then immediately hit the '[' key to pop it from the stack to the Call 
field.  Works very smoothly.

To make this happen you must have the following lines in your writelog.ini 
file.

[RttyContextMenuEntries]
1=PUSHCALL

This eliminates all the other menu choices that you currently see that 
allows you to send the call to the Band Map.  With this setup you don't need 
the Band Map as the right click immediately pushes it to the stack.  Then 
the shortcut key pops it from there to the Call field.  It's much faster 
than having to select a choice of action from the menu of options that 
normally opens with a right click.

Hi all,

After many months (years?) of not plucking up the courage to activate
XMMT.OCX, I finally got around to doing this last week while I was off work,
ready for the Roundup.
The reason was to allow me to use 2Tone in a cloned window, and once I read
the instructions from Don AA5AU, I got it all configured and working a treat
- apart from one small issue!

I use 2 monitors in my shack, just for space to have enough windows open to
see what I want.

On the main window, I have the RTTYRite decoder window running MMTTY, so I
opened a clone window for 2Tone, and put this on my second monitor.
One of the points that Don made was that you could click on a call in EITHER
window and it would populate the entry window.

It didn't, but I was able to right-click on a highlighted call and select
Enter on Bandmap. That worked, so that was how I continued in the contest
last weekend.

Last night, I emailed Don, asking where it was on his site that I saw the
info that I could click on a call in the cloned window, and he pointed me to
it, so I was puzzled.
In one of those lightbulb moments, I just tried moving the cloned RTTYRote
window to the main screen, and yes, I could click on a call and it populated
the entry window.

Is this an anomaly, or is there something I have missed elsewhere? Could be
one of those "can't see the trees" moments, or a senior moment!

Anyone else seeing the same, or is it me?
